Also they are getting hit with DDOS attacks. So many ppl are trying so hard to put this game down it doesn't even make sense the amount of effort going into hating this game. These ppl should get an award.

I tried DayZ tonight. I wanted to try it again because its been months since I last played. Its been since I first discovered the game and posted it on this site..then gave my thread away to another member that started a club. DayZ still sucks. I played for about 1 hour before running back to The War Z.

When the standalone release....releases I will try it again then.

For the record I think DayZ has the most potential but it is still using a shitty buggy engine.

They've been interviewed and make public accouterments weekly and have addressed their mistakes. If you don't like the game no one is forcing you to buy it. Even the "false claims" that they had was up for a day (not even) on steam before it was taken down fixed and put back up to reflect the games current standing.

Fixed a bug that caused players to take damage when walking down inclines.
Fixed bug that if logged out in air - you will not be able to get back into game
Increased the server shutdown timer to 5 min
Optimized shadow rendering for better performance
Optimized scene rendering for rendering
Shadow quality on ultra settings was improved
Other very technical rendering optimization for greater FPS
Optimized zombie rendering
If you have recent video card and start game for the first time, it will not default into low quality, and instead will default into appropriate quality settings depending on how powerful your video card is

I don't like the FoV, the bad mechanics, the bad textures from pre-2004, lack of any purpose, no "special" places on the map, no vehicles, glitchy reflections, shady development team, map smaller than advertised, hats, lots of hacking, seemingly juvenile player base and robotic zombies. Aside from that I play the game here and there and somewhat enjoy it. Saying the game is more polished is just not true. DayZ shares many of these problems and one could go back and forth between the shortcomings of both games. Meh, nobody is going to force someone else to like something they don't like. This game needs work. I would like to play with a group though as playing solo seems to suck quite a bit.

Well.. Not all of the textures. They've got to do something about those trees, some of the car models and other things. I mean Half Life 2 came out in 2004 and placing foliage from that game into WarZ would be a big upgrade. Draw distance is good though and to me that always adds to the beauty of a game.
